The Chinese lunar zodiac coin series has been one of the most popular series ever issued by the Royal Canadian Mint, with several coins in the first series appreciating significantly in the secondary market. This proof coin is double struck with a frosted cameo finish, the highest quality produced by the Royal Canadian Mint. The unique scalloped shape is reminiscent of a lotus flower. This is a substantial coin, weighing just under one ounce of pure .9999 fine silver. The matching Asian themed presentation case beautifully presents the horse coin, adding to the collector experience or making this a great gift item.

The horse design on this coin captures true essence of the horse with a galloping horse and the Chinese symbol for horse. (Scalloped shape)

This coin is beautiful,much nicer than the picture. My coin came in 4 layers of packaging, including a nice heavy woven bag from the mint, with a fitted cardboard box as the outside layer. I am very happy with my purchase and it couldn't have been packaged any better.

The coin itself is beautiful and deserves 5 Stars on its own. But when I opened the box it came in, the hinges broke off immediately and the box is basically useless. I put this to the fact that the order was sent in a cheap wrap-around paper package-type of envelope and for that reason alone, it gets only 2 Stars. Were you out of the bubble envelopes that you normally use for sending orders out and therefore, had to substitute an inferior product to ship the item?
